Mema's Crafts Design Team

Today, I would like to share with you a project I did for Mema's Crafts, using a Kenny K digital image.

The name of the image is Book Girl.  If you know anything about me, I love to read, so I fell in love with this image.  I knew exactly what I was going to make with this image.
This is a new journal for my reading notes.  I like to write down the books I have read, books I want to read and any other "book" related information.
For this project, I used the Glitz paper collection "Love You Madly".  The solid paper, Rock Candy and Whipcream Cardstock, came from Fun Stampers Journey (www.funstampersjourney.com/21).  The swirl embossing came from Darice, called Corner Scroll.
Here is a close up picture of the image:
I used the following Copics to color the image:
Skin E11, E00, E000, R81
Mouth R39, R37, R35
Flower R85, R83, R81
Shirt/Hairclip YR65, YR61, YR20
Pants BG78, BG75, BG72
Book/Eyes B95, B93, B91
Hair E49, E47, E57
Shoes 100 N5 C5

Ruff Day Hug

Ever have those "ruff" days?  Today's hug is for those days.  This little dog will have anyone that is having a "ruff" day, have a smile on their face.  It's hard to see, but under the button it says, "Ruff day..."  Enjoy!

Just for you Hug

Today's "hug" can be used as a gift card holder too.  I cut the base of the card at 3 1/2 x 5, and folded it in the middle.  This time, instead of using the traditional card way, I just turned and made it more of a tent card.  Add a little strip of paper to the bottom of the inside and you have a cute little gift card holder for that special friend.

Missing You Hug

Today, I have a "hug" for you.  What is a "hug"?  I card is a hug with a fold in the middle.
Richard Garay from richardgaray.com coined the term hug a few years ago.  Basically it is a "mini" card.  The dimensions of the base are 3 1/2 x 5.  You then take this and fold it in half, and you have a "hug".  I love this image and wanted to make a cute little "hug" for a friend I was thinking about.  Enjoy!

Presidents ATC Swap

This month's ATC swap was Presidents.   I wanted the other swappers to learn something about my president, so I did a search for interesting facts about presidents.  I found an interesting fact about Garfield, so I chose him as the president I would do.  Here is the card that I created.
Here is the interesting fact about Garfield.  He was the first president to talk on the phone to Alexander Graham Bell.  Isn't that cool. Enjoy!

February Doll Tag

February is all about Valentine's Day, so I made this Julie Nutting doll tag to reflect that.  I used the Lost and Found collection from My Mind's Eye.  I love this collection.  I even used the same collection on the cigar box that I decorated (see post dated 7/22/14).  Enjoy!

February calendar

Today, I have the next installment in my 2015 calendar.  This one was fun to create.  I cut the heart out of the Candy Apple Cardstock and then attached it to the Sweet Berry Cardstock on the two sides and the bottom.  This way, the heart is a picture frame, and you can slide a picture into it.
I also put Journey Glaze on the "Love" cutout, to add dimension.  Enjoy!
